Sunflowers

My cousin grows the most beautiful sunflowers. Rows and rows of sunflowers. Our family reunion was this past Sunday and she had vases and vases of her beautiful flowers on the tables in her parents barn where the reunion was held. But missing from the day was her mother's sunny face. She was resting inside due to the cancer treatments she's been receiving. So if you're speaking to the man upstairs, please remember Shirley in your prayers.

I've made this card to send to her. Hope it cheers her a bit.

I wish you could see the sparkle from the shimmer mist I sprayed on the popped image and sentiment, digis from Pattie's Creations Designs.

When I entered a card in Pattie's Creations Monochromatic Challenge #97 earlier this week, I realized I hadn't used nay of her images in a while. This image was a perfect fit for the card I wanted to make and by just using yellow I can also enter it in Pattie's Challenge.

Hi, Debi! Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog (kathybydesign.com) during the RRR blog hop. You left such a lovely comment that I had to come over and take a peek at some of your creations. I just love this sunflower card. They are favorites of mine, and always bring so much cheer. I like the way you embossed the background and added that sweet butterfly. I'm sure it will lift Shirley's heart. I pray she recovers her strength and is able to enjoy life again soon. Thanks again for the lovely comment! kathy

Sunflowers are such beautiful flowers. The butterfly on your card looks fabulous as alights on your sunflower, a really lovely card. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us at Crafty Boots Challenges.
